  • Let Go.



    “Let go, I know I got to be strong…”


    .. and so I did. I burned the roses tonight to reaffirm my strong will in living and the strive for the future. I didn’t burn the roses for the process of forgetting, but to signify that I already moved on. For some, it is harder to let go of the past because of this immense fear of missing out on somebody, perhaps The One? But while they are waiting a lifetime for that person to come around, the world keeps moving and instead of just missing one person, they are letting a whole world pass them by at the same time.


    And so we live on.


    We learn from our past and breathe in tomorrow. The letting go starts from the will. Letting go is so easy when you want to, so hard when you put value in what was never yours. We keep thinking about the money, the time, the emotions and tears being put in a relationship and that keeps us stuck in one position. We think of all that as concrete investments, so how should one walk away? Rather, how can one walk away?


    Don’t put value in it. It means nothing to you now…


    And just like that, life didn’t seem so heavy for me all of a sudden. It means absolutely nothing, no significance. Money, I can find more. Emotions, I can keep on healing. Tears, I can keep on drying. But time… is not something I have to waste and burn for a dead-end relationship.


    So just let go. I’ve never known somebody that has fallen in love, and haven’t had their heart broken. C’est la vie.

  • Well, whether it be for forgetting or for signifying one has already moved on, it must smell good… Like incense. Hmmm… or maybe not.  Anyway, glad you are savoring Time and not wasting it away… =)

  • “I’ve never known somebody that has fallen in love, and haven’t had their heart broken.” True. but remember, we go through endless relationships, get our hearts broken and stepped on by people who slip in and out of our lives…but the end goal is still the same. We do all of that so that we can find the one person who won’t hurt us or break our hearts. And that’s the best part…all it takes is one =)

    ps. i’m soo jacking your entire playlist…i send you external mem. you send me years of stored music. i send you a coffee and a giant thank you.

  • actually, this weekend i was thinking about writing about investments vs. relationships. =)

  • I’m just browsing around xanga and I came across yours. I think your entry is one of the most beautiful things I’ve stumbled across. I’m sitting here with shivers. =] Is it alright if I use your song on my xanga?

  • ryc:  the kiddies’ll live.  i don’t want anyone else to hold back because of that.  nevah!  fun scream cursin’ doesn’t bother me (someone we know has also been known to take part in it himself).

    that’s a sad story.   everytime i hear one of those girl left out to dry stories, i feel bad.  if it’s a serious relationship, i think there can come a time where the girl needs to push for marriage.  the pressure isn’t to force marriage, but more to make sure the guy wants in.  if he doesn’t, she’ll find out then and then she can move on.  if a couple’s been living together for a few years, there’s a lot less incentive for the guy to rush marriage because everything he wants is already there.  i think a lot of girls miss the boat on that one.  moving in is not always better.
